his receipt with the statement that “the.
finest Gorgona anchovies are imported
by Crosse and Blackwell, Soho Square.”
The receipt is as follows : Order a dozen
very small round rolls, rasp them all
over, cut off the top, remove all the
crumb, place them on a dish, and set
them aside. Next chop four hard-
boiled eggs very fine and put them into a
small basin with a tablespoonful of
chopped burnet, tarragon, chervil, and
chives ; season with four tablespoonfuls
of salad oil, one of French vinegar, and
a little pepper and salt. Mix the whole
well together, and use this preparation
for filling the rolls with ; then place
some small fillets of anchovies✪ Anchovy Sandwiches (pre-
viously prepared) over the sandwiches
at about one-eighth of an inch distant
from each other, and place another row
of fillets across these at a similar dis-
tance. Dish the sandwiches up on a
napkin, in the form of a pyramid, and
serve. It is, however, possible to have
an anchovy sandwich in a more simple
form, so I will give a receipt for —

some hard-boiled eggs, and cut them

ANCHOVY SALAD.— There are various

filleted, say twenty-four fillets. Add a
few young spring onionB, a teaspoonful
of chopped parsley, a slice or two of
lemon cut thin. Then dress it with
